Is the key challenge explaining the complexity of the environmental impact on human health? Or is the main problem the scale of the potential solutions required?
Join us at the Global Health Lab to find out!
*The Lancet and The Centre for Global Chronic Conditions on behalf of LSHTM have teamed up to present Global Health Lab, a series of focussed discussions on key global health challenges facing the international community today. Global Health Lab provides a forum for lively debate and to exchange ideas that will push forward both research and policy agendas.
